    I had a great experience at Moerlein. Their service was amazing and their menu is very diverse as well as inclusive for those with certain food allergies.

    Sitting down stairs was so loud. It felt like you was screaming at the person sitting beside you . Food was okay. Was not worth money we spent. Drinks all came out one at time not together. We had to ask for refill and to order.

    I have been to Moerlein several times and have always been amazed at how great the food has been, and, of course, I love their beers, with the Barbarossa dark lager being my fav. Tonight, we went for their Veterans Day special menu. I so appreciate the great deal they offered. I had the Steak Frites, and the steak was done perfectly, was very tender and served with really crispy fries. Another great night at Moerlein.
